His 'wut' face has such a tiny cigar and your new icon is creeping me out, and the doodled Maxwells eyes being inverted liek that creeps me out too. Everything is sooo cooool.

Maxwell, Maxwells everywhere! There's no escape... >_> <_<

Aw. Was kinda looking forward to winged Wilson escapades in the future. It just fit, somehow. Ah well, it's still riveting, will be sure to check back.

An artist spending giving up all her time on doing the same thing for months is a rather monotone life. Sometimes you want to draw other stuff. I had a rather busy weekend too with broken computer hardware, family meet up and trying to help another forum member get used to Paint Tool SAI.

wow that is great Maxwell is well done but when is page 10 comeing I want to see what happens next

I spent this weekend repairing a broken harddrive and a family member of mine is here on a visit. I haven't seen her in a long time so obviously I'd like to spend some time with her.After all, the healine of this thread is Don't Starve Comic + Art, so a bunch of sketches now and then should fit just fine

It's possible that Wilson was thinking various thoughts, but not actively focusing on all of them. It seems to me that Maxwell picked up on what Wilson was actually trying to 'project' into his mind (such as the "selfish coward" line), but not everything else. That's my theory, anyway.

I found a story hole! How would he not know about the suicide when Wilson was probably thinking about jumping off the cliff?

There's no plot hole regarding that question. Maxwell clearly mentions Wilsons "pathetic little suicide attempt" on Page 8. Maxwell does not have the ability to read what's stored inside minds, he picks up present thoughts. On Page 1 Wilson is behaving suicidally, Maxwell really believes that and saves Wilson. Or more like putting Wilson back in place... Maxwell justifies his actions by saying "you'll die by my ways" and "just like everyone else". This is what angers Wilson so much, he's just a plaything and entertainment to Maxwell.

Below I've copypasted a short part of my Don't Starve Comic Q&A on DeviantArt. I recommend reading it for more information The comic is one heck of a mindf'ck filled with cryptic speech refering to previous- or future events.

Did Wilson really attempt to commit suicide?

Yes and no. It has been stated by him that he had nothing to lose. He felt tormented and ignored, like there was no purpose in life. On page 8 he says "I thought I was alone but I figured there was something controlling this world. How else could every day end up worse than the other?" This was the only clue he had. With his life as contribution he jumped off that cliff and hoped for the best. Insanity probably affected his mind as well.

Maxwell accuses Wilson for suicide on page 8 but Wilson explains he did all this so Maxwell would show up. Was that Wilson's masterplan?

You could say both yes and no. Maxwell clearly states that Wilson will die in the wilderness just like everyone else, this is the reason why Wilson was saved. Suicide is unacceptable, it's a great insult to Maxwell. At the same it's sort of a small Victory for Wilson, after being ignored and tormented for such a long time he finally triggered Maxwell to show up in person.

Meh, thanks to you, I have a MUCH better mental image to work with when it comes to the Maxwell we all see at the beginning of the game. And now that I re-peeked at that first page, some of what I THOUGHT was all spoken was actually speech bubbles...that's what I get for reading them when half-asleep to begin with. >.>

If I gave him a nice crooked nose I'm sure he'd be more appealing to you

The "think bubbles" look like clouds while the speech bubbles are squares with rounded corners.

One does simply not pokerface Maxwell, he'll get you for that.
